19: What I wash is not my feet, but the mud of this world.

The police eventually took Li Youqian back to the police station for investigation on charges of attempted solicitation.

It could only be blamed on the fact that there were too many people seeking pleasure at Red Romance tonight, and No. 88 had a lot of illicit transaction information on her, so Li Youqian just happened to run into trouble.

“Name.”

“Li Youqian.”

“Gender.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, it should be male?”

The female police officer responsible for taking notes in the interrogation room burst out laughing, and the male officer conducting the interrogation glared at her.

“What do you mean ‘if nothing unexpected happens’? What unexpected thing could happen to you?”

The interrogating officer asked with a hint of anger. This guy was already at the station, and he still dared to be so cheeky?

“I don’t know either. What if I suddenly decide to have a sex change one day?”

“Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, even had his son undergo a sex change. Who can say for sure about these things?”

Li Youqian was still resentful about the police mistakenly arresting him, so he joked a bit about the gender question.

“We are in an interrogation right now, please be serious.”

The male officer said righteously; he also understood that Li Youqian was teasing him.

“What were you doing at Red Romance today? Were you trying to engage in illegal transactions?”

He was wronged! He was truly wronged!

If he had actually done something, even if he had just taken advantage of the situation by touching someone, he wouldn't feel so wronged. But he hadn't done anything!

“Officer, I’m truly wronged. I just went there for a SPA, and you arrived right after the masseuse came in.”

Hmm? This script isn't right. Why was he arrested if he didn't do anything?

“Is what he said true?”

The male officer had not participated in today’s arrest operation, so he asked the female officer next to him.

“Yes, he’s not lying.”

“When our people arrived, the masseuse had indeed just entered.”

“He was brought back because that masseuse had evidence of illegal transactions, so he was brought back as a suspect.”

The female officer was clearly trying to hold back her laughter; she was professionally trained and usually wouldn't laugh.

“Nonsense!”

“Since he didn’t do anything, why bring him back?!”

The male officer was clearly a very upright person and quickly understood the whole situation.

However, he didn't want to undermine his colleague, so he could only advise Li Youqian:

“Although tonight’s incident was our dereliction of duty, you should still go to such places less often.”

“You’re so young, isn’t there anything better to do than get a foot massage?”

Li Youqian clearly held a different opinion on this.

“I’m not washing my feet; I’m washing away the mud of walking through the world.”

“A gambling father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a broken her.”

“If I don’t go for more foot massages, how can I help her in such difficulty?”

“This is also a manifestation of my sense of social responsibility.”

Faced with Li Youqian’s sophistry, the male officer was helpless. This kind of excuse was used all over the country, and yet it couldn't be prohibited.

Finally, the male officer could only impatiently send Li Youqian out.

“Uh… Officer, can I ask something?”

Li Youqian cautiously spoke before leaving.

“What is it?”

The male officer was also curious; when others heard they could leave, they couldn't wait to go, so why was this guy still in the mood to ask questions?

“Well… I spent 3888 on a SPA tonight, and it was interrupted by you before it even started. Can the police station reimburse me?”

Seeing the male officer’s face darken, Li Youqian quickly said:

“If not… sending me back in a car would be fine too!”

“My car is still parked at Red Romance.”

“Hahahaha, you’re so funny.”

The female officer could no longer hold back and burst into laughter. She had never seen anyone as amusing as Li Youqian before.

“Of… of course!”

The male officer said through gritted teeth, but the mistaken arrest was their responsibility, so sending him back was only right.

“Oh, by the way, the tea at the station is quite good. Can I take two catties with me?”

.....

So Li Youqian once again took a police car back to Red Romance. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Li Youqian elegantly stepped out of the police car, holding a plastic bag of tea in his hand.

This was the compensation given to him by the police.

Good heavens, what an eye-opener! Someone actually came to get a foot massage in a police car!

Was this to completely eliminate hidden dangers?

As for the truth... Li Youqian certainly wouldn't tell them! After all, it was quite embarrassing...

“Hello, sir, welcome to Red Romance.”

“Are you alone?”

The welcoming team leader had changed, so he naturally didn't recognize Li Youqian.

“It’s like this: I came in for a SPA just now, but I was taken away by the police before it even started.”

“I’d like to ask, can I still continue?”

When the team leader heard this, his brain directly crashed.

He had seen people who spent a fortune, and he had seen people who caused trouble and smashed places. He had even seen people who were dissatisfied and requested refunds.

But he had never seen anyone like Li Youqian, who was taken away by the police and then returned to continue!

“This…”

“Sir, I need to ask our manager for you,” the team leader said with a troubled expression.

“Okay, no problem.”

Li Youqian expressed understanding, as the team leader couldn't make decisions on such matters.

The manager quickly walked out from inside and respectfully said to Li Youqian:

“Valued guest, I apologize for the unpleasant experience you had.”

“Please show me your proof of purchase so I can verify it.”

Li Youqian opened his phone and showed him the payment information.

The manager understood immediately upon seeing the time; it was precisely when the police came for the inspection.

This guest was also an unlucky fellow.

“No. 88 is not back yet. We can arrange another masseuse for you. Would that be acceptable?”

Although he was a little disappointed, as he had come specifically for No. 88, Li Youqian also knew that No. 88 wouldn't be coming back, because No. 88 had already gone in for further training...

“Okay, just arrange someone with good skills.”

The masseuse who came later was also very good, but Li Youqian always felt she wasn't as good as No. 88.

It was like the difference between your current girlfriend and your first love.

After the SPA, Li Youqian felt completely relaxed. It was indeed worth 3888; there was a reason for its high price.

Aside from a slight ache in his lower back, there were no other issues.

“Welcome back next time, brother. I am No. 66, Shasha.”

Shasha? That name sounds nice!

And No. 66 is luckier than No. 88. From now on, he would look for No. 66!

As for No. 88?

Hmph, let her continue her studies and training!

“Driving my beloved Maybach~”

“It never gets stuck in traffic~”

“It keeps me away from simp and pure love~”

“It takes me back to freedom’s paradise!”

On the way home, Li Youqian was in a great mood, humming the popular online song “Driving My Beloved Maybach” and speeding all the way back to his community.

He had already told the landlord that he would not be renewing the lease for this apartment. Coming back tonight was just to pack his things, as some items were filled with memories.

After one last look at the small rental room, Li Youqian walked downstairs without looking back.

From this day forward, his life was bright.
